I had to delete your comment for a major spoiler alert. Anyways, hell yes, the Gaidens are worth watching. The Reinhard Gaiden is somewhat interesting, it's funny to see him in his younger years on the academy. The second storyline in the Reinhard Gaiden is just plain awesome with lots of ground combat action, giving it a WWII feel (especially with the Germanic names). And the first story of the Yang Gaiden is definitely worth the watch. It's the last story of this great saga in which manly tears will be shed by the viewer.

Good time of day. I am the creator of the Travelling magicians club. The club has been inactive for a long time. Now I want to revive it and spread the love for Kusuriuri and Ginko among all the members. But for that I need your help. If you have some ideas, please share them in Ideas and suggestions thread. We will appreciate any help - from games and contests to banners and membercards. If you are ready to help us constantly, please apply to the admin in this thread. I hope, your love for our magicians hasn't disappeared and you will return to our club :)
The creator of the club,
Origa-san
